Throughout his life, Turner accomplished much. He changed the course of history in the state of Georgia. He was a pastor, a politician, a pioneer, a renegade, a political organizer, an innovator, and a scholar, cwtremo writes.
As many in our country repeatedly lament about a"separation between church and state," mixing those two "worked out well for Henry McNeal Turner." Turner, a legend, was a pastor, politician, and one of the founders of Georgia's Republican Party. He accomplished a lot during his life and was a prominent and influential figure, but most people aren't aware of his valuable contributions to our country's history.
After the Civil War, Turner's rise to prominence continued. He moved to Georgia and helped with the state's Reconstruction efforts. He served in the 1867 Georgia Constitutional Convention and was appointed Macon's postmaster by President Ulysses S. Grant. In addition to his political accomplishments, Turner continued his work in the church and became pastor of the St. Philip AME Church in Savannah.
"The world has never witnessed such barbarous laws entailed upon a free people as have grown out of the decision of the United States Supreme Court, issued October 15, 1883. For that decision alone authorized and now sustains all the unjust discriminations, proscriptions and robberies perpetrated by public carriers upon millions of the nation's most loyal defenders," Turner wrote about the court's decision.
